memorial # 22643804 & 22643852
did you notice that there are THREE children mentioned on the tombstone pictured closeup with infant dau. Chapman? I don't see a memorial for the Nancy who died Apr 4 1787 aged 8 months-? is it there or would you like to add it?

OMG, it's him
The Stephen R Lesher I found was in fact, the son of Jacob & his first wife. He went to NY about 1841 or so, and made lots and lots of money. And living in his household in 1870 is Rebecca Lesher.

OMG, I may be on the trail

Emeline Thompson Lesher
I'm totally convinced she's my emeline, but I don't think the Jacob buried Third Lutheran is the right Jacob. I'm assuming the links on his page are correct, and the kids don't match up. Luckily James Thompson (Emeline's father) left a will and names his two orphaned granddaughters, one, Rebecca, the daughter of Emeline, and the other Hannah Lake (later Payne), daughter of his daughter Hannah.

The Jacob in Third Lutheran has kids born 1840-1842, neither of whom are Rebecca Jane. If Emeline had been the mother of these chidren, I'm sure James Thompson would have mentioned them in his will

I'm been trying to remember why I thought Jacob was married before he married Emeline, and realized it was from the censuses. He's there in 1830 [Lesher], with one female, no kids. This must have been his first wife. He's there in 1840 [Lesher], with children born before he married Emeline, and without Rebecca Jane, who was probably born after the census was taken.

He's not there in 1850, could be dead, could have moved. There's a Jacob Lasher in Gallatin.

Meanwhile, I'm now downloading an obit/death notice for a Stephen Lesher, born Amenia in the 1830's (haven't read it yet). Stephen may be one of the children of Jacob & his first wife. We'll see.

Meanwhile, I told my cousin you'd found Emeline, right where she should be, planted in Dutchess county. He lives about 2 hours north, and wants to jump in his car and find the stone. I told him to cool his jets...

Thank you
Thank you, Jan, for taking time out of your day to fulfill this request. This was my grant aunt and I have her parents and brothers, all in St Lawrence so it is nice to have her memorial as well.
